President speaks
'Future of USF
Blood and thunder
on
Battle strategy planned
as Senate vs. Trustees
By Bill Trinkle
Foghorn Staff Writer
The University Centre was
the scene of a speech on "The
Future of USF" present by
University President Charles
Dullea, S.J. last Tuesday.
The affair was sponsored by
the Young Democrats, and included a question and answer
period immediately following
the speech.
Father Dullea narrowed the
topics of conversation to the
immediate future, or within
the next two or three years.
One of his opening statements
included the fact that plans
are being finalized for the purchases of St. Ignatius High
School during the summer for
approximately two million dollars.
Enrollment was touched on
in the next segment of the
speech and it was mentioned
that USF will be leveling off
this commodity. Father President said that there will be
little change from the eight
hundred freshmen entering per
year and the total 3400 undergraduate students. This figure
is an increase of nearly one
hundred per cent over the enrollment of five years ago.
Finances were covered and
he remared that the amount
students pay at USF for tuition does not cover the educational costs. "The school loses
approximately .$250 per student every academic year,"
Dullea said. He did not go on
to explain just how the university goes about covering
this debt, or how we function
at such a loss-rate.
The question and answer period then began with a question about whether there
would be a tuition increase as
of next year. Father President
Building named
USF president Charles Dul-
lea. S.J., announced earlier
this week a grant of $450,000
from the S. H. Cowell Foundation toward the total cost
of the nursing building. The
grant was made with the stipulation that USF raise an additional $17,535. The nursing
building is due to be dubbed
the S. H. Cowell Nursing
Building.
Construction on the $1,393,-
460 building began with a
$628,208 grant from the U.S.
Department of Health. Other
financing aid came in the
form of a $250,000 grant from
the Crown Zellerbach Corpo-
W and some $47,717 in con-
tnbu on.s from other sources.
"a raise is prob-
the next three
stated that
able within
years."
A question was asked concerning the halting of the Upward Bound Program for high
school students at USF. He
stated that they were questioning the efficiency of the
program and whether the
$27,000 in funds alloted could
not be put to better use for
the underprivileged students.
Another member of the audience ased whether or not
it is true that a professor
could be discharged without
a reason unless he had
reached the seven years necessary for tenure. He answered that this was true but
a one year notice is necessary
and that after obtaining tenure an administrative judicial
means is needed to dismiss a
professor.
In his summation, Father
Dullea said that an evaluation
of the entire school, taking into account all of the problems
existent on campus, is necessary to understand these problems and work toward their
solution.

Students at USF might be
well advised to watch for publication of the battle plans and
lists of the wounded as the
University Senate and the
Board of Trustees toe the
mark in a controversy over
the membership of the latter
body.
Legally, Father President,
Charles Dullea, S.J., and the
Board of Trustees have the
main administrative power of
the University. The University
Senate, on the other hand,
feels that through the appoint-

To those downcast Dons who
felt KUSF's halftime extraza-
ganza at the Santa Clara
game last Saturday was suitably pleasant diversion from
an evening of maplewood miseries, it must regrettably be
announced that they can expect a full slate of pygmy
basketball and similarly unpalatable fare at all future intermissions.
It seems that a smattering
of students' mothers and
alumni, some of whom
watched from their living
rooms via Channel 38 (ironically, KUDO), considered the
gala offensive and raised a
sufficent stink with the administration to prevent a repeat
performance of its kind.
While KUSF station manager Ken Palla and others responsible declined comment,
reliable Foghorn sources have
it that said parties were called
on the carpet by vice president
for student affairs Robert Sunderland, S.J., and chastized
for their "poor taste" and
failure to first clear their production through proper channels.
For those who missed the
proceedings, the song girls led
off in flapper costumes with
a fairly innocuous Charleston,
which apparently did not raise
any eyebrows. Jumping eras,
the gym then went dark and
the ISoundcasters blared forth
their rock beat. Picking it up,

ment of various faculty advisors to the Trustees, they
should have some say in matters of policy that come
through the Trustees.
The Board of Trustees is the
group which is responsible
before the law for USF. They
are at present 12 Jesuits, most
but not all of whom are administrators at the University.
There is nothing in the By-
Laws or the Articles of Incorporation of the University
to state specifically that the
Trustees should be composed
specifically of non-laymen.
Universities such as Fordham in New York and Notre
Dame have just recently
changed their policies concerning the membership on
their Boards of Trustees to include a majority of Laymen,
and the University Senate,
most especially Mike Galligan,
President of ASUSF, would
like nothing better for the
Trustees at USF. Galligan
would like to see "a preponderance of the members to be
men of letters and men who
have distinguished themselves
academically, who have contributed in ways other than
monetarily to the function of
the University.
Submersing various members of the Student Body into
the actions of Trustees, in
observatory roles, at the discretion of the Senate, met with
Galligan's approval, along
with the idea of having Presidents of other Universities be
invited to attend such functions as the Trustees may
have in store for the year.
Father Dullea's reaction to
the question of having laymen
added to the Board of Trustees
was "At present the possibility of adding laymen to the
Board of Trustees is being
studied. Just who and in what
proportion is not at all certain," he said.
Galligan retorted with the
query "Who is studying it (the
question) and just what material success have 'they' had
who are studying it?" He followed with a general criticism
on the present set-up at USF.
"The Board can no longer be
run like the board of a large
corporation," he said, "where
the leader, in this case.
Father President, is for the
most part the last word in
policy making matters, and
the members of the Board of
Trustees take the position of
'rubber stamps'."
The Trustees will be meeting within the next two weeks
and this reporter will be present at the meeting for the
blow by blow report.
